In this episode, Patrick discusses a controversial topic of what it takes to become a successful parent-coach. Patrick goes into depth about the do's and don't and shares a few of the most common mistakes that parents make when attempting this role as well as the damaging affects that these behaviors have on their young athlete both short and long-term. Some of these mistakes may surprise you as many parents make them unknowingly and they rarely are mentioned in the sport-parenting world. He also provides solutions to these findings which you as a parent may use to better your relationship with your young athlete.

The scrutinization of athletic performance is heavily emphasized among what we see on the outside. External variables such as winning, improving ranking, impressing coaches, maximizing technique, and more. But what exactly lies underneath reveals the true story. In this episode Patrick takes you into the depths of understanding what truly matters in athletic performance underneath the visual surface of what is limited with our eyes. In this episode you'll discover what you've possibly been doing wrong all along while making game changing adjustments to your performance to get back on track.

The Social Epidemic of Smart Phones is one that has exploded over the past decade and even more since the pandemic. Today I cover many of the depths of why this is such a pervasive problem in youth sports and beyond. To cover this topic at a deeper level, I will be taking many of the findings from a powerful new book recently released by Jonathan Haidt titled, “The anxious generation.” I highly recommend parents and athletes who are eager to learn more to read this. Also, I will take data from my own findings throughout the past year from my work with numerous athletes. Lastly, other data and ideas will be used in this podcast from other reputable outside sources. If you are a parent of an athlete , coach, or athlete you will most likely find this podcast enlightening, beneficial, and perhaps triggering. But remember this podcast is only to help inform you to make the best decisions based on what works for you, your athlete, and even your family. As always, thanks for listening.

In this episode, Patrick shares with his listeners the 10 costly mistakes athletes make. The first question to ask is why are athletes making these costly mistakes? We find that first and foremost, many of these costly mistakes may be due to a lack of awareness. This is why this podcast is necessary to shed light on the importance of checking in on your own mental game. But secondly, many of these mistakes are due to mental and emotional struggles and the maladaptive responses to them. Such mental and emotional turmoils often lead to avoidance behaviors. These emotional struggles include an inability or perception of lack of ability in dealing with anxiety, worry, frustration, unhappiness, and overall, fear. Ironically, many of these behavioral mistakes are counter intuitive to their original intentions of seeking out relief which often results in continued emotional suffering. So let’s get into the 10 costly mistakes that athletes make. Before continuing, once again this podcast is not meant to trigger anyone and is not geared towards calling out anyone in particular. Also, there are far more then just 10. But here are the 10 mistakes that we will cover in today’s podcast.
1. Over-training (not taking breaks, vacations, mentally detaching completely from sport).
2. Social Media - Time spent, lowering attention focus, delaying long-term goal achievement, comparison (sadness, frustration, jealousy, envy, depression)
3. Electronics - Video games, checking phones during practice (usually multiple times.)
4. Lack of Communication - Not speaking to support team about struggles, asking for what they want, etc.
5. Not Enough Structure: Routines, sleep, nutrition, fitness
6. Staying with the wrong coach for too long: (Reciprocity effect) or Switching coaches/organizations too often:
7. Not competing enough (waiting for the “right time”)
8. Worrying about feeling anxious
9. Trying to be perfect Leads to Obsessions/more suffering (winning, ranking, destination, other peoples expectations)
10. Choosing what’s easy (escaping necessary discomfort) (training hard, fitness, competitions, see this in college institutions)** Leads to extortion tactics.
